Hi, everyone! My two-year-old daughter loves to dig in the dirt and play with bugs. Recently these things have infested our district in Tianjin, China, but I don't know if they are safe for her to play with or not. They can jump and fly short distances, and crawl on vines and bushes during the day. They sense when we're close and walk away from the camera, but they're not so fast that my daughter can't (accidentally) squish them when she tries to "touch" them.

Following the links to Lycorma olivacea I am convinced that it is a species of Lycorma (Fulgoridae), but I see some differences between your images and that species, so I am not certain that it is olivacea.
